We should be glad to ask these Gentlemen wliat they Would have said, if a similar system had been adopted- by other Newspapers, when the conduct of their party was under investigation ? What would they have. said, if during - the trials for high treason in 1794,, if during the trials of the mutineers in 1797, or if in the case of Colonel DEsPAr.b, any ,Newspaper had, from day to day, commented upon the evidence,. and had attempted _to prejudge , the case before the defence, was heard ? They:tell us, t'ha't the Evidence and Papers already produced are so voluminous, " that' it requires con. siderable time and attention to follow thereat history of the Expedition, and to judge of the demerits of its plan, or of its execution." But the Opposition Writers easily surmount these ditliculties : they, it seems," are-not only competent to decide upon the evidence which has been given, but:to anticipate all that which is to come. -They have decided upon the merits of the case'before it lias been heard, and they call up2ti Parlianreat for justice ! No, for vengeance. ,They say---" If Parliament does not avenge the cause of the Country?' What is to follow if Parliament does not meet the wishes of these Gentlemen we do not know, but we 'do know that it is most indecent, as . _ well as most unjust, when the House is employed in a grave and impor tant invtstigaticin respecting the conduct of Minis ters, for the Advbcates of a Party to assume at once the characters of accusers and, judges, and to cla- • rnour - for iengeance before misconduct is ascertained. But it seems that the Party is now dissatisfied: with the mode in which thelaquiry is carried on. We should be glad -to ask who it was than proposed-the present mode of proceeding ?" Did not the Party ' Prints, before the Meeting of Parliament, daily declaim upon the necessity of an Inquiry at tho Bar of the House ? Did they not protest most vehemently against any investigation in a Corn rnittee ,up. Stairs, as it is callod ? Was not the , saioe language held after the Meeting; nay, were not the Oppposition so anxious to, get into ' this Corrimittee, that : they would not . wait from , - Friday till Monday. in order that they might have. : the documents before them'? ' What, :then, do these Writers mean by obje6ting to this mode of in quiry, or Wili they acquaint us now what mode will satisfy them?, The answer, tr .Lucy wvaii-i give tr t._fahly,. would be very short.: The fiat is, they want 'conviction without trial. Their object .is ,not in vestigation, but rCrutoval.. Happily there' is no fortn . of proceedingin this coantricalculated to suit their purpose.
